Halloween 2009

We had a good week of Halloween. It started the week before by making these fun spiders and spider webs with the girls and decorating the house.
We carved a pumpkin, but only one this year. I decided that since Matt and I do all the work, one would be plenty. The girls each got mini pumpkins and used markers. Ruthie did a happy face, mean face one. Mariah did a cute one. Notice Lindsay is not in these pictures. We don't let her do anything fun with us:)
We used up all our Parade candy making "haunted houses" with Ruthie and her friend Evelyn. I made a log cabin with all of the tootsie rolls. By the time I took the picture it was coming apart. I guess all the candy was too heavy for the graham crackers.
Friday Mariah had her class party. She was a ghost this year. She wanted to be something scary.
Mummy wrap game. The kids really liked this one.
Halloween Party and Truck o' treat at the church. I don't know what was up with my camera, but all the pictures we took outside were weird. Matt grew out his hair for about 6 weeks for his Halloween costume. When he came out of the bathroom with the top of his head shaved I laughed so hard. I'm so used to seeing him without any hair. The hair around the edges gave him a look that I don't want to see often. Lindsay was really into Halloween this year. Especially when she found out there was candy involved. We finished up by going around our Neighborhood on Saturday evening.
Another great shot of Matt's hair.
